Location of error: 3rd paragraph of article (with 1st line counted as the 1st paragraph); 2nd sentence. Change "...sought out a wish to..." to "...sought out from a wish to..." Add the word 'from' after 'out'. Goman1 ( talk) 20:42, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
The two sources come from opinion pieces and don't really say anything. The part that says Palestinians wanted people to be second class citizens is not really supported and seems intended to make the Palestinians look like racists.
I propose either removing the section or adding more detail on the level of support such as polling. Right now it just seems a propaganda piece for pro-Israel voices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:ECC8:F00:20C9:8BEB:C926:84BD ( talk) 17:37, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
Almost two years later, this section has not been fixed. The two pieces cited [25] and [26] in no way talk about the Palestinians views of the one-state solution after the 1930's. [26] states "Today, the prospect of such a binational state emerging is even more remote: Neither people wants a binational state, especially after more than a century of mutual bloodletting and warfare." This provides zero evidence of modern Palestinian support either for or against a binational state. Comparing the anti-immigration sentiment of Mandatory Palestine in the 1930's-1940's to the open air prisons and other such atrocities going on today is disingenuous. Either remove this section or flesh it out with actual citations containing real evidence. - User: Nyaalek 9:51 8 April 2021
the need for this section to be fixed is urgent & its disheartening to see two years of inaction on the part of the class of wikipedia editors privleged to be able to edit this section. as other editors have stated, the article used as citation for the claim that palestinians do not support a binational approach ( https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/rashida-tlaib-misled-skullduggery-listeners-israel/589417/) does not actually cite any reliable source such as polling on the claim that the binational approach is unsupported among palestinians, nor is it even a news article. its simply a one-sided opinion piece & which does not qualify as a legitimate source of information to cite something as important as palestinian views on binationalism. anyone can write whatever they want in an opinion piece, that doesnt make it a reliable source.
as the conflict between palestinians and settler colonial israeli policies comes to the forefront of international attention, more people will be turning to this website for information, & currently what they are going to get when they go to this page is an uncited claim from a propaganda piece. it is imperative that someone from the class of wikipedians who are allowed to edit this article take responsibility for the fact that as it stands, this article is spreading harmful misinformation. everyone who can change that but instead stands around ignoring this years-long flaw is complicit in that. Neonpixii ( talk) 18:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
I agree with Neonpixii and advocate for removal or clarifying with reliable sources. I came across this section and clicked through to the citation [26]. It is an opinion piece by written by Benny Morris, who is a self-proclaimed Zionist and has no authority to speak on behalf of all Palestinians. Sauceweb ( talk) 06:12, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Since both this article and Isratin refer to a proposed "unitary, federal or confederate Israeli-Palestinian state" is there any reason not to merge them, the resulting article being entitled Bi-national state (Israeli–Palestinian peace process)? Mcljlm ( talk) 16:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

For the sentence widely viewed among supporters as a form of
colonialism
, change the link to the more specific
settler colonialism
instead. All three sources (refs 8, 9, 10) for this sentence use the term "settler colonialism". (Though the link for source 8 appears to be broken,
here is the most recent page I can find via archive.org)

The first line of Arguments for and against - Academia is poorly sourced. The source used doesn't explain how a one-state solution is anti-Israel and should really be removed.-- Kappasi ( talk) 19:53, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

This page itself talks about the varitey of different kinds of One-State Solutions, but the problem is when I'm on the page for a specific Political Party and all it says about what Solution they support is One-State and then links here, that doesn't tell me specifically what that party means by that. And if the page says they support a Binational State but links to this page I'm inclined to wonder if an editor was using the temrinology wrong? KuudereKun 15:51, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Change "However, interest in a one-state solution is growing as the two-state approach has not yet managed to reach a final agreement." to "However, interest in a one-state solution is growing as the two-state approach has not managed to reach a final agreement."
The word "yet" implies it will happen in the future and of course we don't know that. Midwood123 ( talk) 18:41, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Under "Palestinian views on a binational state": Change "in which Europeans immigrants" to "in which European immigrants". There seems to be an extra "s" there. Midwood123 ( talk) 03:38, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
There should not be a reference to the Green Party of the United States. That is one organization within a very small movement in the United States. This article serves a purpose of clarifying what the one-state solution is. No one in the US or Israel or Palestine is turning to the GPUS for guidance here.
The section also equates Iran's policy that Israel has no right to exist with the one-state solution. That is very, very confusing. There is no reference to any information on Iran. This should also be removent. 2600:6C64:7B3F:4900:8C4C:35FD:6B40:8F0E ( talk) 01:45, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
"During the following years, a large population of Jews living in Arab nations (close to 800,000) left or were expelled from their homes in what has become known as the Modern Jewish Exodus and subsequently resettled in the new State of Israel."
This sentence from the article gives an impression that is not in compatible with the well sourced article Jewish exodus from the Muslim world.
This article states that the number of Jews resettling in Israel from Arab countries between 1948 and 1951 was 260.000. If you instead focus on the exodus from Muslim-majority countries (not only the Arab ones) between 1948 and 1980 it is stated as being 650.000.
The sentence should be edited for clarity. At the moment it seems to imply, that the number of Jews from Arab countries resettling in Israel during 'the following years' exceed the number of Jews resettling in Israel across more than three decades and from both Arab and non-Arab Muslim-majority countries. Holscher ( talk) 14:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
“one state” in the lead should be replaced for “a single state” to disambiguate this from the two-state solution. 82.36.70.45 ( talk) 12:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
The Arguments in Favor section contains the following sentence: "Israeli Prime Minister Olmert argued, in a 2007 interview with the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, that without a two-state agreement Israel would face 'a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights' in which case 'Israel [would be] finished'." That is an argument against, not in favor, right? I think this sentence should be moved to the Arguments Against section. -- Westwind273 ( talk) 20:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
A big hole in this article is the Zionist position pre-1948, which was an overwhelming preference for a Jewish state in all of Palestine. Even before the Balfour Declaration that was true. Zero talk 03:18, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

The first two lines of the section on Palestinian views on binational state are incorrect. As early as the 1930s, Palestinians put forward proposals for a secular, democratic state for Jews and Arabs.

Currently, the opening text in the "Palestinian views on a binational state" lack any sources and direct quotes. Please update the opening paragraph with the following text, quote, and sources:
Prior to the 1960s, a binational state was not accepted among Palestinians. The Palestinian position evolved following Israel's victory in the Six-Day War, when it became no longer realistic to expect the militarily powerful and densely populated Jewish state to disappear. Eventually, Palestinian leadership began flirting with the idea of a two-state solution.[28] However, some remained open to a one-state solution with equal rights for all; as a leader of the PLO’s prevailing Fatah faction observed in 1969, “there is a large Jewish population in Palestine, and it has grown considerably in the last twenty years. We recognize that it has the right to live there and that it is part of the Palestinian people. We reject the formula that the Jews must be driven into the sea. If we are fighting a Jewish state of a radical kind, which had driven the Arabs out of their lands, it is not so as to replace it with an Arab state which would in turn drive out the Jews. What we want to create in the historical borders of Palestine is a multiracial democratic state...a state without any hegemony, in which everyone, Jew, Christian, or Muslim will enjoy full civic rights.”[29][30] [31]

A fifth model is to establish two dozen or more co-equal cantons similar the Swiss model. Such diverse figures as the prominent Zionist leader, Itamar Ben-Avi, offered variants of this idea in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1947, several nations, including Lebanon, proposed dividing Palestine into multiple Jewish and Arab "cantons." The UN rejected the plan in favor of a two-state solution. [1]

Hello, I'm a volunteer for the One Democratic State Initiative, a small Palestinian political endeavor advocating for the creation of one secular state as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We would like to request to be added on the page, under the In favor section, thank you very much.
This is our website if you need more information: https://odsi.co/en, and this is what should be put on the page if the request is granted:
The One Democratic State Initiative, a Palestinian-led political endeavor, advocates for one singular secular Palestinian state, where all citizens have the same rights and freedom of movement.

The Jewish "community" did not accept the two state partition plan. The Jewish Agency did. Zionists did not accept the partition plan.
More also needs to be said and described about what the one-state unitary democracy that was proposed by the Arab states in 1946 and 1947, what did it entail and why was it rejected? Otherwise it is a disservice to history and injustice to Palestinians to frame that rejection without any context or explanation and to follow the rejection of the two-state landgrab solution with the point of invasion.
